1Paul, called as an apostle of Christ Jesus by God's will, and our brother Sosthenes:G3972G2822G652G2424G5547G1223G2307G2316G2532G4988G80 2To God's church at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus and called as saints, with all those in every place who call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord— theirs and ours.G1577G2316G3588G5607G1722G2882G37G1722G5547G2424G2822G40G4862G3956G1722G3956G5117G1941G3686G2424G5547G2257G2962G5037G846G2532G2257 3Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.G5485G5213G2532G1515G575G2316G2257G3962G2532G2962G2424G5547 4I always thank my God for you because of God's grace given to you in Christ Jesus,G2168G3450G2316G3842G4012G5216G4012G1909G5485G2316G3588G1325G5213G1722G2424G5547 5that by Him you were made rich in everything— in all speaking and all knowledge—G3754G1722G3956G4148G1722G846G1722G3956G3056G2532G3956G1108 6as the testimony about Christ was confirmed among you,G2531G3142G5547G950G1722G5213 7so that you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.G5620G5209G5302G1722G3361G3367G5486G553G602G2257G2962G2424G5547 8He will also confirm you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.G3739G950G2532G950G5209G2193G5056G410G1722G2250G2257G2962G2424G5547 9God is faithful; by Him you were called into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.G2316G4103G1223G3739G2564G1519G2842G846G5207G2424G5547G2257G2962 10Now I urge you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all say the same thing, that there be no divisions among you, and that you be united with the same understanding and the same conviction.G1161G3870G5209G80G1223G3686G2257G2962G2424G5547G2443G3004G3956G3004G846G2532G5600G3361G4978G1722G5213G1161G5600G2675G1722G846G3563G2532G1722G846G1106 11For it has been reported to me about you, my brothers, by members of Chloe's household, that there are quarrels among you.G1063G1213G3427G4012G5216G3450G80G5259G3588G5514G3754G1526G2054G1722G5213 12What I am saying is this: each of you says, "I'm with Paul," or "I'm with Apollos," or "I'm with Cephas," or "I'm with Christ."G1161G5124G3004G3754G1538G5216G3004G1473G3303G1510G3972G1161G1473G625G1161G1473G2786G1161G1473G5547 13Is Christ divided? Was it Paul who was crucified for you? Or were you baptized in Paul's name?G3307G5547G3307G3361G4717G3972G4717G5228G5216G2228G907G1519G3686G3972 14I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,G2168G2316G3754G907G3762G5216G1508G2921G2532G1050 15so that no one can say you had been baptized in my name.G3363G5100G2036G3754G907G1519G1699G3686 16I did, in fact, baptize the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don't know if I baptized anyone else.G1161G907G2532G3624G4734G3063G1492G3756G907G1536G243 17For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel— not with clever words, so that the cross of Christ will not be emptied [of its effect].G1063G5547G649G3165G3756G907G235G2097G3756G1722G4678G3056G3363G4716G5547G2758 18For to those who are perishing the message of the cross is foolishness, but to us who are being saved it is God's power.G1063G3056G4716G2076G3303G622G3472G1161G2254G4982G2076G1411G2316 19For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will set aside the understanding of the experts.G1063G1125G622G4678G4680G2532G114G4907G4908 20Where is the philosopher? Where is the scholar? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn't God made the world's wisdom foolish?G4226G4680G4226G1122G4226G4804G5127G165G3471G3780G2316G3471G4678G5127G2889 21For since, in God's wisdom, the world did not know God through wisdom, God was pleased to save those who believe through the foolishness of the message preached.G1063G1894G1722G4678G2316G2889G1223G4678G1097G3756G2316G2106G2316G1223G3472G2782G4982G4100 22For the Jews ask for signs and the Greeks seek wisdom,G2532G1894G2453G154G4592G2532G1672G2212G4678 23but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to the Jews and foolishness to the Gentiles.G1161G2249G2784G5547G4717G2453G3303G4625G1161G1672G3472 24Yet to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is God's power and God's wisdom,G1161G846G3588G2822G5037G2453G2532G1672G5547G1411G2316G2532G4678G2316 25because God's foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and God's weakness is stronger than human strength.G3754G3474G2316G2076G4680G444G2532G772G2316G2076G2478G444 26Brothers, consider your calling: not many are wise from a human perspective, not many powerful, not many of noble birth.G1063G991G5216G2821G80G3754G3756G4183G4680G2596G4561G3756G4183G1415G3756G4183G2104 27Instead, God has chosen the world's foolish things to shame the wise, and God has chosen the world's weak things to shame the strong.G235G2316G1586G3474G2889G2443G2617G4680G2532G2316G1586G772G2889G2443G2617G2478 28God has chosen the world's insignificant and despised things— the things viewed as nothing— so He might bring to nothing the things that are viewed as something,G2532G36G2889G2532G1848G1586G2316G1586G2532G3588G5607G3361G2443G2673G5607 29so that no one can boast in His presence.G3704G3361G3956G4561G2744G1799G846 30But from Him you are in Christ Jesus, who for us became wisdom from God, as well as righteousness, sanctification, and redemption,G1161G1537G846G2075G5210G1722G5547G2424G3739G575G2316G1096G2254G5037G4678G1343G2532G38G2532G629 31in order that, as it is written: The one who boasts must boast in the Lord.G2443G2531G1125G2744G2744G1722G2962
